Just like people blamed the beattles and other bands back in the day this is horse shit.
So ban music, movies video games all of it, but lets keep the guns. :facepalm:
Weird Al did several heavy metal parodies.
I don't think that is what I said.

Hey bro good question. To take it even a step further why is it that the four mass shootings in Australia prior to gun reform were white males as well.
I have a theory as to why but it is only my theory but it makes sense to me and I really do try to look at things deductively but one person's reasoning is always questioned when that theory isn't what another wants to hear.
I believe it has a good deal to do with cultural norms and practices in society that are distinctly different between races and genders. Upbringing and environment are key. A young white male child is afforded far more legal leeway than blacks. A black parent that was brought up in the U.S. is far more likely to experience discrimination and racism while whites experience privilege. A young black kid playing with an airsoft gun in a park was unceremoniously gunned down by police in an instant. Nicholas Cruz, tr Unabomber, Timothy McVeigh, and so many mass murderers were taken alive and with out much bodily harm to themselves. Michael Brown was gunned down for jaywalking and while his lifeless body was still laying in the street, the police department not only released his juvenile record which is supposed to be sealed but made up a fake story about a robbery that never happened. By the time his bloody body was even mercilessly covered by a sheet after four hours laying in the street while his mother was restrained and not even allowed to approach her son the narrative was already all over the news calling him a thug. You ever notice that white mass shooters are always termed as mentally ill but never a thug.
So as a black parent that's lived through all this and with the president now who most certainly promotes white nationalism and populism so much so it has empowered long term white supremacy and privilege it truly makes sense to me that there's a much more distinct set of behaviour and dire circumstances being taught to their sons and daughters that we as white people do not do. What I mean is this, if Nicholas Cruz was black and there were 18 separate complaints made to police about his threatening to shoot up schools and mental instability do you honestly believe he wouldn't have been dealt with differently?
Do you think of he was black he would have been termed mentally ill or a thug?
Look at the black lives matter movement, the first thing our society did rather than even attempt to listen to their grievances was to diminish their message and marginalize their efforts. First we diluted the charter by pitching the all lives matter rhetoric. Nobody ever said only black lives matter, they never did, but by diluting the original charter which white America bought into with all lives matter we effectively suppressed their message.
So I think black and minority parents can readily point their children to so many incidences of far more dire consequences enacted upon blacks than whites that their kids are far more aware that they're much more at risk for even owning an assault rifle or anything else while white kids can plainly see that other white kids shooting up schools become famous.
I can put forth hundreds if not thousands of instances where systemic discrimination and racist beliefs delegated legislation.
When a contingent of black panthers armed with assault rifles marched in protest in California I believe, then governor Reagan had an assault rifle ban in place in a matter of weeks.
Unfortunately, white privilege and white domination is so prevalent and so completely dismissed as a non entity in our country that not only will most whites will not even entertain the notion as even possible and get rather irate when it's even mentioned.
Think about this, Trump's tag line is make America great again. If I'm a black man, I'm truly offended by that. What "great" American era is Trump referring too because slavery only ended three grandma's ago. Civil rights were one grandma so what "greatness" does he mean because I can't honestly see where it's ever been great for African Americans

Scraps argument and viewpoint is very similar to a white mother in the 1980's.
Not really. If a sick kid puts the head phones on and has Death Metal cranked up to 12 for 16 hours a day is a lot different than a normal kid listening to Pink Floyd while doing his homework.
Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these?" For it is not wise to ask such questions.
How'd that work for Syd Barrett?
Or, what about the kid doing homework to death metal, while the sick kid cranks Dark Side of the Moon?
Yeah maybe the LSD had something to do with it.

That video and false charge were proven false and completely without merit shortly after it was posted. You're ignorance is only eclipsed by your bigotry all of which is well documented on this forum.You are so delusional its not worth my effort to argue, you are dead wrong
Below is the video of Mike Brown robbing the store FDC says never happened.
OK i also noticerd one confirmed report of known psycholigist at stanford sayinmg it's the mentally ill kids that need to be kept away from death metal music it has a severe cause and effect with them
I personally believe that if you think music and video games are to blame for mass shootings by kids.....then you are disconnected from reality and only have a Fox News/CNN window in which to view the world.
I've played tons of Madden in my time and weirdly I've never had any ambition to play in the NFL.
How INSANE?!?!?!?
Great reply FDC. This opens up a whole new can of worms. I do not look at Trumps Make America Great Again as being racist in any way. I do remember a time when America was the greatest country in the world. Now, I say that as a white man, but it was us older white men, I am 65. Who fought with the blacks in the 60's, to end segregation and try to make things right. Now we are told we are racist and sexists every time we turn around. But that is a whole other subject.
Yes it is interesting isn't it that these Mass Murderers get taken alive. Makes me think.
I do think that Black Lives Matter is a racist organization. But we are getting away from the point of the thread.
Great post
